How you place an fletch in the clamp makes all the difference in the finished product. My first two arrows look TONS better than the ones fletched at the shop for $1.50 per, theirs are much more sloppy.
Like the old saying goes, "If you want it done RIGHT, then do it yourself."
You know, as bad as a lot of folks want people to believe it - or try to make it so - this archery stuff simply is not rocket science.
